Comments on: “Doing what you ARE!”: Artie Shaw, Mark Twain, and … Sami http://www.piano-and-cello-and-friends.com/videoblog/2008/05/07/posts/doing-what-you-are-artie-shaw-mark-twain-and-sami/ The Purpose of this videoblog is to advocate, demonstrate, shine a light on, and encourage The Beautiful Music Possibility. By "Beautiful Music," we refer to two things: (1) choices and actions which are "music to our ears," which become part of the fabric of Blessings that we all receive ... the sorts of choices and actions which are pleasing to "the Chief Musician"; and (2) the glorious music of such instruments as the piano and cello, music which reminds us of and calls us toward excellence, beauty, and service ... toward this end, we feature Classical music, as well as Gospel music, jazz, ragtime, Boogie Woogie, and much more. We also invite you to join us in discussing the role of Beautiful Music in creating community, health, education, effectiveness around conflict, and inspiration.

We have the full set of DVDs and have watched and loaned them out several times. Thank you for the reminder of this exceptional collection. We are encouraged to hear about Sami, another musician exploring and discovering. This comment comes right after hearing Johnny's performance of Rhapsody in Blue with the orchestra playing at Ikeda Theater in Mesa ... so that is pretty much on our mind. We spoke with friends again today about it, and all continue to be in amazement at the thrilling pianism communicated by such a young and extremely talented man. Thank you for bringing this gift to our family, friends, and musical circle on the Mother's Day concert. --The Wilsons Hi folks,

We also really love listening and learning from Ken Burn’s Jazz series produced for PBS. We have the full set of DVDs and have watched and loaned them out several times. Thank you for the reminder of this exceptional collection. We are encouraged to hear about Sami, another musician exploring and discovering.
